Is Gi training beneficial for No Gi training? That’s the BJJ related question I received from Ariana who is fairly new to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

She has been doing No Gi thus far and has asked around if she should do some training in the gi. And the general consensus that she gets is that the Gi is not beneficial or is useless.

In this video I touch on my experience about whether or not the Gi can be useful for No Gi BJJ.

But I also touch on the dogmatic approach many people in Brazilian Jiujitsu tend to take. Especially when it comes to this Gi vs No Gi debate.

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is art and it’s hard to nail down exacts in an art form.

Think of music and painting. How trends will come and go. Things that used to be considered garbage are now the exact things that are praised for their artistic creativity.

So if you’re wondering this same question, then I hope this helps! And try and keep an open mind for your BJJ training.

Black-Belt/Adult/Male/Super-Heavy – Quarter-Final

In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu there are certain parts of training which require a good deal of conscious effort.

A couple of these aspects of training are drilling and getting in reps, and changing the stories we tell about ourselves on the mat.

We often accept certain traits we have as an almost permanent condition.

Like the question I received from the person in the video. Which is he thinks he gets his Guard passed easily during rolling. And approaches his training with that mentality.

Changing your mindset for BJJ is tough. Because you are often fighting your inner critic which has a propensity to pop up during difficult times on the mat.

As I describe in the video. I had a lot of difficulty not getting my Guard passed as well. And one of the biggest things that helped me over come this issue was changing my mindset.

Along with that, forcing myself to play from the positions that bothered me the most. So I have more time in the position to work.

So if you’re experiencing any trouble with any position. Here is what I would advise you to do.

1. Drill techniques from the BJJ position that is frustrating.

2. Change your mindset with the position. Positive self talk is powerful and will help make the reality you seek happen.

3. Work from that area. Conquer the frustration or fear by moving towards it.

Remember, the beautiful part about BJJ is that your skills and abilities are not permanent. They’re always growing and shifting.

And you have a hand in this!

Surpreenda seu oponente usando a gola do seu kimono .

“Jiu Jitsu Techniques – back attack on four supports / all four attacks”
Surprise your opponent by wearing the collar of your kimono.

Back when I was a brand new White Belt I had a nasty habit of tapping out from pressure during a roll.

You see, what would happen was, I would roll balls to the wall crazy. Spazzy and full of energy. In a lot of cases during the roll I would control the positions and what happened.

But eventually I would putter out and my BJJ training partner would then take over and submit me.

Sometimes with a technique and sometimes with just pressure.

Recently I received a question from a BJJ White Belt who is having the same trouble during his Jiu-jitsu practices.

He says that during his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class. Most things go just fine.

But then! He will gas out and feels forced to tap from pressure when someone gets into Mount.

And he sent me a message about any tips I could give him.

In this video I share what I did to overcome this issue with my Brazilian Jiujitsu training and how I was able to relax and breath even when someone had lots of pressure.

If you’re White Belt in Jiujitsu and having the same trouble I’ve had, as have many others. Then I hope the video is helpful!

Have you ever had to compete against one of your training partners in a BJJ tournament?

This is the problem our friend TJ is faced with in an upcoming Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament.

He says he’s gearing up for one of the biggest competitions in Canada. And he says that right now potentially 3-5 other of his teammates.

In this video I discuss my experience with competing against BJJ teammates both as a competitor and from a coaching stand point.

Again, much of this is personal preference, so everyone is different. But hopefully the information shared in the video will help you if you’re ever in a situation where you have to possibly compete against your teammate in a Brazilian Jiujitsu competition.

And if you’ve ever had any experience with this sort of situation with a BJJ tournament, please leave your thoughts below.

Thanks again to Tj!
